Windsor Christmas Lights Switch-on

About

Windsor’s Christmas Lights Switch-on is set to dazzle!

The event features a stage outside the stunning Windsor Castle, offering festive performances by community groups.

Families can enjoy children’s rides, hot food stands, and Christmas market stalls throughout the town centre.

The celebration will culminate with the cast of Theatre Royal’s Panto Dick Whittington switching on the lights, illuminating Windsor’s largest Christmas tree, generously donated by His Majesty King Charles III.

Supported by Louis Baylis Trust, Windsor and Eton Business Partnership, The Crown Estate and Royal Household.
